St Bernard aays he knows not which of the two merits damnation the mostthe detrac tor or the willing listener, since both have the evil one in them the pne in bis mouth, and the oilier In bis ears. Detraction is, too, a base and cowardly vice, fur when we detract our neighbor, we stab bis reputation behind his back, and at. time' when he has not an op portunity to defend himself.

A venerable Bishop entertained one day, at his table, one who was prone to detraction, He was scarcely seated wnen tie commenced speaking lir disre spectful terms of a person in the neigh- borhood. At thia the Bishop was not a little displeased, and, intending to give the detractor a leBwh; he called out one of the servants, and told him to go 'to the bouse of the person; who bad just been spoken of in a very uncharitable manner, and tell bim that the bishop wished to speak to him. The detractor hearing the order given, became very much alarmed, and tried to induce the bishop to revoke the order." The prelate calmly "replied; "I am sending for thia gentleman that he may answer the charges you have brought against bim; tor it would not bis just to listen to the complaints which you have made against him without affording an opportunity of defending himself." i Detraction is therefore, a grievous sin, and it is not without reason that the book of Proverbs declares the detractor to be the abomination of men.
